At HONESTBEE, we understand that successful queen rearing requires precision, stability, and efficiency. For commercial queen breeders and Royal Jelly producers, the traditional method of using molten wax to attach cups is too slow and inconsistent. Our Nicot Cell Bar Holder & Cell Cup Holder system provides a professional, reusable, and modular solution that streamlines the grafting and rearing process. Designed to work seamlessly with standard Queen cell cup systems, this hardware is an essential component for any modern apiary.
Professional Design and Modular Construction
This product is a two-part system engineered from high-quality, food-grade polypropylene plastic. The design separates the mounting mechanism from the cup holder, allowing for rapid movement of queen cells without disturbing the frame.
1. The Cell Bar Holder (Black Base) The foundation of the system is the robust black mounting socket.
- Dimensions: It features a compact footprint of 2.6cm x 2.2cm.
- Mounting: Designed with pre-drilled holes on the flanges, it can be securely nailed or stapled directly onto wooden cell bars.
- Function: It acts as a permanent dock on your grafting frame, ready to receive the yellow holder instantly.
2. The Cell Cup Holder (Yellow Insert) The yellow component fits snugly into the black base and serves as the receptacle for the actual Queen cell cup.
- Dimensions: It has a wide base of 2.9cm for easy handling and an upper inner diameter of 0.92cm to tightly grip standard plastic queen cups.
- Design: The bright yellow color provides excellent contrast against dark comb and royal jelly, making it easy for beekeepers to identify and handle cells even in low-light conditions.
Superior Durability and Functionality
Unlike single-use wax cups or brittle plastics, HONESTBEE’s holders are built for longevity in commercial environments.
- Secure Fit: The friction fit between the black base and the yellow holder is precise—tight enough to prevent accidental dropping during hive inspections, yet smooth enough to detach easily when transferring ripe queen cells to mating nucs.
- Reusability: Made from durable, heat-resistant plastic, these components can be cleaned, sterilized, and reused for many seasons, significantly reducing long-term equipment costs.
- Streamlined Workflow: This system eliminates the need for beeswax adhesion. You can prepare your cell bars in the winter, and simply snap in the Queen cell cup holders when the season starts.
Application and Value for Professionals
This system is the industry standard for the "Nicot" method of queen rearing, widely preferred by commercial operations for its high acceptance rates.
- For Queen Breeders: It allows for the safe transport of queen cells. You can remove the yellow holder (containing the developed cell) and place it into a mating nuc or incubator without ever touching the delicate wax cell itself.
- For Royal Jelly Production: The standardized spacing and secure mounting allow for high-volume harvesting with automated or manual tools.
- Universal Compatibility: The inner dimensions are designed to fit the most common standard plastic Queen cell cup inserts available on the market.
